CRY’s research programme also
– supports screening & NHS referral services
– trains cardiologists to becomes specialists in YSCD

Read the 2020 issue of CRY's Research Highlights CRY's new digital Research Highlights booklet covers all of our research news, conferences, and developments from 2020. This issue includes videos of all presentations from the 2020 virtual CRY International Medical Conference (page 2), full video recordings of excellent webinars hosted by Professor Sanjay Sharma and Dr Michael Papadakis (page 5), and interviews with several current and former CRY Research Fellows about their latest work (page 6). We also have an additional
Dr Papadakis gave a presentation on how CRY’s research has impacted the investigation and management of people with conditions that can cause sudden cardiac death. After the presentation, there was a Q&A session
Dr Michael Papadakis has been a key member of the CRY team for years after first joining the charity when he started his training as a CRY Research Fellow in 2007. He’s continued to develop education in the sports cardiology field by building educational material for the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and launched a novel degree in sports cardiology, which was the first post graduate qualification of its kind. Dr Papadakis has also transformed CRY’s myheart network. He serves
Former CRY Research Fellow Dr Chris Miles’ recent research helped demonstrate how new computer software can help identify and analyse abnormalities in the heart that we may not be able to see otherwise. Dr Miles’ paper, entitled “Morphometric characterization of collagen and fat in normal ventricular myocardium” (Miles C, Westaby J, Ster I C, et al. Cardiovascular Pathology, May, 2020), looked at 29 non-cardiac death cases referred to the CRY Centre for Cardiac Pathology. This study aimed to examine the
Former CRY Research Fellow Dr Gherado Finocchiaro completed a study into hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), aiming to determine the incidence of HCM in first-degree relatives of decedents from sudden death with idiopathic left ventricular hypertrophy. The paper, entitled “Diagnostic yield of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in first-degree relatives of decedents with idiopathic left ventricular hypertrophy” (Finocchiaro G et al. Europace) was published in August 2020, and Dr Finocchiaro provided us with an explanation of what the study involved and some of the key
Former CRY Research Fellow Dr Lynne Millar recently completed a study into dilated cardiomyopathy in athletes, entitled “Differentiation between athlete's heart and dilated cardiomyopathy in athletic individuals” (Millar L, Fanton Z, Finocchiaro G, et al. Heart, July 2020). This paper intended to distinguish the difference between dilated cardiomyopathy and typical, healthy changes that can occur in an athlete’s heart, and came up with an array of tests to help achieve this. This research is best explained by Dr Millar herself:
Professor Sharma spoke about how CRY’s research has impacted the way we look after families after a young sudden cardiac death as well as the way it has influenced the way we screen young people.
